Neither could Engel. At least Billy is fun and has game changing speed.

Billy has a 46 wRC+ since leaving the Reds.  If we had 27 or 28 man rosters and could use him purely for defense and base-running he’d prove valuable, but entering the season with him as our 4th OF is absolute insanity to me.  He seems like a great dude and had some nice moments for us in 2021, but he be should nothing more than AAA depth.

With the new base running rules next year... he could be way more valuable than you think as a late PR option.

The problem is a 4th OF is expected to be much more than a late inning PR or defensive replacement, especially on this team with an injury prone CF and a rookie RF.

Yep I’d keep him on the roster just for that extra run in the 7-9 innings…PR/defensive sub, I’ll deal with the 0-1 that he gives the team
